KK 3,307 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The way he plays with the Shankar tune (I presume) in alternating meters is just fantastic. That's first rate Glass, in top form. Having a foot in each world, the album really is a lovely hybrid of both sensibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,515 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I tried learning to play that once. The jumps starting at 7:30 are a bitch, though... Speaking of jumps, Alkan's "Symphony for Solo Piano" looks like fun to play: But that's only the 4th movement. The rest of the symphony is worth checking out, too. karelm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2,914 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I saw her in concert but forget what she played though she was intoxicating. In the pre-concert talk she mentioned a passion for wolves (unless I am mixing her up with someone else). Separately, I have been a life long fan of Bach's Chaccone in D minor for violin finding it one of the most sublime compositions. Bach was just amazing. I remember learning the prelude and fugue in C for piano and realizing how much more difficult it was to perform due to the right/left hand equality. I really struggled with it. His music is versatile. I frequently perform the cello suites arranged for bass trombone and have arranged some of his seminal keyboard works for various forces ranging from solo trombone (toccata and fugue) to full orchestra (Passacaglia and Fugue in c min). No questioning he's one of the titans of western music. Loert and KK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2,914 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I love this composer and have posted about him before. So sad he died while so young. Interestingly, this symphony includes an electric guitar and a drum kit. I just love how the violence of the first movement contrasts with the uneasy serenity of the last movement (unfortunately I couldn't find it on youtube).

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I honestly have no idea in this context. He could have basically copied from a short score as we see in Hollywood, or he may have been going from the ground up off of a piano original draft.
